Statement
Her artistic practice is articulated through photography and video. She explores survival, resilience, and the search for refuge.
She investigates the relationship between the natural environment and the dynamics of adaptation, vulnerability, and reconciliation.
As a gardener, she finds in the plant kingdom both an ethical and an aesthetic guide. Her connection with the earth extends into her work, where nature functions not merely as a setting, but as a tangible and mythical territory—a refuge where the vegetal world manifests itself in its purest, most beautiful, and wildest state.
In her practice, survival transcends mere resistance; it becomes the poetic act of learning to flourish amid uncertainty.
